We’ve all had moments that leave us at a total loss — for words, for direction, for what comes next. For me, that moment came when my baby died at 37 weeks. I know firsthand what it feels like to have the world stop and to wonder if you’ll ever find a way forward again. Sometimes it’s the death of someone you love. Sometimes it’s heartbreak, illness, trauma, or failure. But being “at a total loss”... more

  • Love fiercely…

    There is a certain gravity in the voices of bereaved mothers, a weight I recognize instantly. As a mother who has also lost a daughter to stillbirth, I am drawn to their stories, their grief, the way they carry it. My heart aches for each of them—I can feel it all through them.

  • Life saver

    I lost my baby just over a month ago and finding this podcast has provided a lifeline I didn’t know I needed. Kat is relatable and easy to listen to and I love the variety of guests she has on the show. Speaking as someone who is new to this “loss life” I am so grateful to have this resource.

  • The blame game

    Anyone would empathize with these women for wanting someone to blame.
